Opportunities
I’m done regretting the past.
I’m done thinking to myself: “I could’ve done this or that, I missed out on that”
There’s a lot of truth to those thoughts but now that I’m 28 years old, I’m beginning to notice that opportunities will always be there.
The key is to take advantage of them when they’re there. And many times you have to search for them.
There may be an opportunity for me out there right now that I’m not aware of as I’m typing this.
And when I say “opportunity”, I don’t mean any specific type. I mean it in any sense of the word.
A few years ago, I discovered an opportunity to obtain a Cable and Wire Harness Assembly certificate from a local community college at no cost to me but I didn’t take it because to be honest, I don’t care to get into that kind of work.
But it wouldn’t have hurt me if I had taken that opportunity. It presented itself during a time in my life where I wasn’t doing anything good with my time, money and energy. I was still in the middle of my drinking years.
Should’ve, could’ve, would’ve…..it doesn’t matter anymore because it’s the past.
All we truly have is this moment. We can die at anytime. No one is promised more time.
Of course, death is only natural and I personally look forward to it despite being afraid of what it entails but that’s besides the point of this post.
